More doggy glurge from @Doohickie.  This article in the dodo is about a dog that was rescued with her puppies. 

Dog Waits Hours In The Mud For Someone To Find The Tiny Surprise At Her Feet

I know the people who adopted Kaia.  I met Amy (shown with Kaia below) and her husband riding bikes around Fort Worth.  And she knows all about adoptions, since she herself was adopted.  She and her husband also share their wedding anniversary date with me and my wife (although separated by a couple decades).

My dog (beagle/lab mix) is a rescue. 45 lb. 4 year old girl who sleeps wedged between my wife and I. Her alarm goes off and that means the dog immediately starts kisssing both of us until we get out of bed. All love.  Being retired,  I consider her a gift from the gods. 

..the wife is good too...  🙂

Tomato sandwich.  Very under appreciated.  Awesome lunch with just a bit of half-sodium salt.

Did you grow your own this year? We had a good crop.

Unfortunately, no.  We had a nice garden when we lived in Bedford (about 15kms from downtown).  When we moved to Prospect (right on the Atlantic) the air and soil is too salty to grow any vegetables.

I frequent local farmers markets as much as possible.

On one of our trips to the east coast we stopped unannounced to a farm in Windsor, NS. It was Howard Dill’s, who was famous for growing some of the largest pumpkins in the world. Our reason for stopping was because his property had Long Pond, the supposed birthplace of hockey, according to the Puck Stops Here.

A really nice man, gave us a tour of the pond, showed us some of his hockey card collection and gave us some pumpkin seeds.

Great day.

Really seems like you lead a fun life. If you’re looking to adopt let me know and I’ll send you a write up of myself with an 8x10.

😂😂😂 If you're from Uganda, then go for it, you can join my semi adopted kid crew. 

Doing Legos in my bathrobe with a juice...I'm sure there are more fun things to do 😂 but it is stress relieving

Is the mirror to look at yourself in the bathrobe while you do it?

 

Still pretty cool.

Haha, God no, the mirror is my enemy 😂😂 Although, I have been going to Timmy Hos in the AM in my robe with mobile pickup and the looks I get are pretty great.

I honestly said just a few days ago that I wanted (nay, needed) a robe and that my wife could get me that for Christmas.

Pop over to Kohls, they have those nice comfortable flannel ones this time of year. Game changer!

Got a new kilt in the Black Friday madness. I love wearing kilts, shame there’s not too many occasions for them these days.

A nice vine ripened tomato is great, and rare unless you grow your own.

What is the right occasion?

Serious question by the way. I’m not trying to be a Richard.

The best looking tomatoes in the supermarket are often the ones with the blandest taste.  One thing I like about Sonic Driveins is that their tomatoes taste great.

Is that your Clan Tartan?

For me, anything formal. Ceilidhs (traditional Scottish dances). But also Scotland football/rugby. In school if we are celebrating Robert Burns, St Andrew etc. They are not so commonplace anymore around cities. But find the right old man’s whisky pub with someone playing folk music and you’re almost guaranteed a kilt or two. It’s sad though. A lot of the younger generation are not really interested in celebrating Scottish culture.

It’s not. This is a non traditional/non clan tartan. (Found out after I bought it that it’s for the tv show outlander: if that helps). 
 

my tartan is McDonald as my mother is in the McDonalds of Glencoe clan. Dads side is Irish.
